What does it do?
If you give a wrong answer during a review, this script guesses which other WK items you confused the question with and displays them in a list, so that you can review the differences immediately.More precisely, if you answered with a wrong meaning, it displays items with your entered meaning, and if you answered with a wrong reading, it displays items with your entered reading. The displayed items are (supposed to be) sorted by visual similarity.
Screenshots
I recommend activating “Use IDS”. This downloads and locally stores a 2 MB textfile containing ideographic description sequences for kanji. My script uses them to improve the kanji similarity rating. This ids.txt file will be downloaded from https://github.com/cjkvi/cjkvi-ids, which derived it from http://www.chise.org. I’m associated with neither of these projects, so I don’t know if it will stay available/compatible.
Here’s what happens if you panic and completely butcher a reading (the correct reading would have been きょうこう):
And here the mistake is only at the first kanji (the correct reading would have been へいじょう):
Additional remarks
The overlay containing the list of guesses might cover the review question if your screen or your browser window is not wide enough. I could not think of a good solution to this, but you can disable “Show as overlay” in the settings menu and the guess list will instead be appended at the bottom of the page (below a certain window width this will happen automatically).
